The fickle scale/support

I have noticed many posts from ladies having a rough time or becoming discouraged lately.
We hope for that needle on the scale to move down, & when it doesn't, it can be hard!
I just had to say: Please remember, weight is not just about the scale. You may be losing
inches, your clothes may fit differently. Maybe it's that your working out & building
muscle. Muscle weighs more that fat. If you continue to eat well, you will lose weight!

None of us gained the weight in a day or a week. It will take time to come off. We have to
hang in there! If we stick to eating well, it WILL come off.

Also, we all mess up! If you make 1 mistake, don't beat yourself up too bad over it. Just
don't keep eating bad for 2,3or 4 more days. Get up the next day & get back on track.
If the scale doesn't move for a day or 2 & you know you are doing well, it will go down.
We all can do this ladies!
